Talk:Aminomethyl group

Considering its use by IUPAC, I understand that "aminomethyl" is −CH₂−NH₂. Right?
However I have seen some papers where that name is used for −NH−CH₃. This usage is incorrect, right? This group should be called "methylamino", right?
And is "aminoalkyl" an established term? I could not find an authoritative reference, but there are many papers that use it, apparently to mean −(CH₂)_n−NH₂. Would that be a proper definition, or should it include also things like −CH₂−CH(CH₃)−CH₂−NH₂?
